This is the very same question we, the intrepid reporters who have been tracing the Willard cousins' scandalous affairs across the Holy States of America and in the Greater British Protectorate, have been asking: When will they come clean and explain themselves? We are the press. We have a right to know!

Regarding the "bear spirit avitor", I can only assure you that no such thing exists. It's just a figment of the Willard cousins' nervous minds. There's no such thing neither in the Holy Bible nor in the Authorized Amendments!

The seeming "explanation" which will be offered following the upcoming shocking episode of the Man in the Balloon is just so much tomfoolery! Tomfoolery, I say!
